Who or what is your teacher right now?
What’s happening that you wish weren’t happening? That’s your teacher. What is it there to teach you? The idea that the person/experience in front of you is your teacher is comforting to me. The irritating driver, your impossible colleague, your protruding stomach. Here’s mine. I recently developed Raynaud’s Syndrome. That’s doctor speak for frozen, numb, […]
How are you feeling about what you’re wanting?
In the car with my hubby today sending emails on my very old Blackberry Curve. Man I loved this Curve when I got it. I was just starting out as a solopreneur and my Blackberry and laptop were my new toys. I loved the idea of taking me and my laptop out for coffee and […]
Got any stories that have outlived their ‘best by ‘ date?
YOU: Do you like your gym? ME: The best part of it is that it’s 2 minutes away. I can leave my house at 9.20 for a 9.30 class. If it was 5 minutes further, I just wouldn’t get there. I totally believed this story. And it kept me at a gym I really didn’t […]

What are you thinking right at this very second?
Unbelievable. coincidence. Here I am at a weight loss coaching workshop at the uberchic W Scottsdale (pure. heaven.) Discussing how our thoughts create our reality. Learning that it’s all about our thoughts. And guess what the funky W coasters say? What you thinking right now? Write it down! Believe it or not, this is the […]
